Matchday Insight: Week 19

"Hear that Music?"

I'm writing this with a little over 3 hours left to the deadline as was busy with family & christmas past few days. Any how, no time for small talk so lets get down to the matchups and picks.



Everton vs Wigan should help the toffees score good, Manchester United faces a toothless Newcastle and Arsenal and West ham are not playing any match.

The Starting XI

Keepers:
1. Howard: He has any easy matchup and would probably register a clean sheet.
Option: Lloris is proving to be one of the assests of the season at his 2.09 price and you don't need my advice on what to do with him.

Defenders:
2. Baines: Baines has an opportunity to get back to double figures after not featuring there for a number of weeks.
3. Vertonghen: He's a defender that doesn't depend on clean sheets for points.
4. David Luiz: If he continues in the midfield then there is alot of potential in the charismatic player.
Options: Shorey held at discount is viable. Buttner could be a possibility but thats just based on a hunch I have.

Midfielder:
5. Michu: Great player in great form and best opposition to be facing.
6. Pienaar: Put in an excellent performance last time out and more should be expected.
7. Sterling: Should be back amongst starting eleven and can be a good economical addition.
8. Taarabt: He is the engine of QPR and will look to bounce back with his support.
Options: Any of the three chelsea midfielders barndoored being Lampard,Oscar or Ramires can be a good play. De Guzman if Michu out of budget.

Forwards:
9. Torres: Back in some sort of form and a team supporting it.
10. Dzeko: Has to end up in the starting lineup with Mancini rotating his squad.
11. Berbatov: Hes been quiet for sometime and that probably is raising his odds to have a break out.
Option: Jelavic has the easy match on paper so could work out.

Ok.
Short and Straight.
Hope it helps.
Good Luck,
Rohit.
